Surprise - I do not know what kind of election system is being used, but
I hope it is a system where some basic confidentiality is maintained - I
thought I was casting a secret ballot, no?

Or was somebody checking the ballots as they came in, day-by-day,
putting then into a bookkeeping system on who voted when and how? I hope
that this was NOT the case - and if it was, I strongly suggest that we
will use a different electoral system next time.
